IMPOSSIBLE GARDEN PIE

This recipe came from a Bisquick Cookbook. I love the flavor combination of the vegetables used and it is so easy to make. I substituted the Bisquick baking mix with the Master Mix (Homemade Bisquick Substitute) from RecipeZaar posted by Cindy Lynn recipe # 45055 substituting the powdered milk with powdered buttermilk and Safflower Oil for the shortening. I liked the homemade version much more than the store bought Bisquick.

Tips:

  • Choose the right vegetables. Not all vegetables are created equal when it comes to garden pie. Some, like zucchini and corn, release a lot of water as they cook, which can make the pie soggy. Others, like carrots and potatoes, take a long time to cook and may not be fully cooked by the time the pie is finished. Stick to vegetables that cook quickly and don't release a lot of water, such as broccoli, cauliflower, and green beans.
  • Cook the vegetables properly. Before adding the vegetables to the pie, make sure they are cooked through. This will help to prevent the pie from becoming soggy. You can cook the vegetables in a variety of ways, such as boiling, steaming, or roasting.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in garden pie, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, and Gruyère.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust. If you overfill the pie crust, the filling will spill out and the pie will be difficult to eat. Leave about 1/2 inch of space between the filling and the top of the pie crust.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. This will ensure that the pie is cooked through and delicious.

Conclusion:

Garden pie is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of vegetables and cheeses. It's perfect for a summer picnic or potluck, and it's also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make a garden pie that your family and friends will love.
